Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Sulfur Molecule**: Sulfur is a non-metal element that can form molecules by linking with itself. 2. **Catenation Property**: Catenation is the ability of an element to form long chains or rings by bonding to itself. Sulfur exhibits this property, allowing it to form various allotropes. 3. **Common Allotropes of Sulfur**: The most stable and common allotrope of sulfur is S8. This means that in its molecular form, sulfur consists of eight sulfur atoms bonded together in a ring structure. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the sulfur molecule is octatomic, meaning it is made up of eight sulfur atoms. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is that the sulfur molecule is octatomic (S8). ---
